More Railroad News.

There has been some talk of late
to the effect that new line of rail
road to connect this section with the
Ohio river would be built. In ref
erence to this enterprise the Fair
mont Inder says the following:
There is no longer any reasonable
doubt that the Ohio River Railroad
Company intends constructing a
branch railroad into this section to
connect either with the B. Il o. here
or with the long projected w. Va. &
Pa. road, if that slumbering enter
prise can be revived. A few DAYS
ago Messrs. Thomas Pettigrew, of
Parkersburg, and T. M. jackson, of
Clarksburg, civil engineers, Travelled
over the various routes between here
and the Ohio river with view to
ascertaining the most practicable To-
cation for the new road, and on last
Tuesday morning corps of engin-
GERS was put on the line to survey
the routes. They commenced work
on the line of the w. Va. & Pa. at
Lumberport, surveying the route up
Ten Mile to mouth of Rock Camp;
thence they will proceed along the
latter stream to the head of Robin
sons Fork of McElroy, down Nc
Elroy to Three Forks, and thence to
Middlebourne and Sistersville. They
will then return, surveying the route
from New Martinsville up Fishing
creek, cross the gap to Big Binga-
mon and come down the latter
stream to the West Fork. Col. Pet
tigrew is in charge of the surveying
corps, and we understand that it is
the intention of the projectors of the
enterprise to finish the surveys, To-
cate the line and complete all neces-
sary arrangements SO as to begin the
work of construction early in the
spring.
We have for some time been conf
IDENTIFY counting on this road, and
the placing of engineers on the route
leaves no doubt in our mind that it
will come. Senator Camden has be-
come familiar with the extent and
character of the Monongahela coal
field, and when he sees a good thing
he usually goes for it. He has in
fact discovered that all that is need
ed to develop this vast territory and
make the Monongahela Valley the
blazing rival of the Connellsville
coke region are railroad facilities to
get the product to market, and with
the history of the F.. M. q p. before
us it is a safe prediction that the
proposed road will upon the instant
Of its completion have all the bust
ness it can do. In fact we can fur
nish business for half dozen busy
roads, and if they will come we will
promise to make it lively for them.

DAKOTA WINTER.

Going Out I'm Genuine Blizzard.
Will II. Herman writes to the Utica OBJ
server of e visit which he paid to Dakota last
year:
Winter came, and what surprised me most
was that the SHOWS so common here were
unknown in Dakota. The terrible Billiards
keep the prairies swept bare, save in places
where great drifts, often twenty feet high,
catch the fakes. One night in December
there came rain. A sudden change and the
frost turned the whole prairie into skating
rink
Cold.
Well, should conjecture; Al degrees be-
low zero.

to the hotel, ''go and bring me some wood.

"Not much, mister!"
"Why, you fractions little reprobate!" 1
exclaimed. Chow dare your
ssWell, I wasn't hired in this here hotel to
freeze, an the man what sticks his nose out
doors this mornin' is goner. Jee- e-Iu -sa lem,
but it's cold"
''You rascal, roared, picking up my cap,
overcoat and gloves, 81 suppose I'll have to
do your work and pay you for doing it" and
1 went ont in a towering rage. l opened
the front door and couldn't see across the
street. The wind was blowing from all
directions, and the falling OIL snow blinded
me as it whirled and curved. I stepped out,
and down I went on the wooden platform In
front of the hotel. A soft summery zephyr
came tearing along from four directions,
spun me round and hurled and whirled me
off upon the cold and cruel ground. Istrug
gled to rise Moekery! l struggled again,
and was plunged back with dull ,unsanitary
thr75 hot pnoIa cir hpUlaH to tho
hotel keeper. The pitiless blizzard bore
away my voice to the uttermost ends of the
earth, and suppose everybody in the world
heard it but the hotel keeper himself. Then
in slow, deadly, remorseless way l began
to crawl. l crawled and crawled till 1 got
to the top of the platform. [ crawled and
crawled till l got to the door, and after Civ
ing it terrible kick and finding myself in
side, I lay painting for breath aud rubbing my
hands till was partly restored to my normal
condition.
That's Dakota winter.

An Ago Of PROGRESS.

THIS is an age of progress. The race grows
Il wiser with experience. This is illustrated even
in the remedies that people apply for their pbysi
ton of cough preparation WHICH is founded on
clear common sense. 1t is called I-actart and
Honey and may be found in the stock of any live
druggist. 1t contains drugs. IL is help to the
whole system on this account The combln tion of
a sweet and a for throat troubles is as old
as civilization, but nothing of this kind
has ever been devised eff ctive Lactart and
Honey.
Does it pay to dose ourselves with drugs. P ople
when suffering from slight ailments far too apt
to dose themselves with powerful drugs, which may
stimulate for while, but in the end enfeebie the
natural vigor of the system and bring on prema:
ture decay o. the vital forces. The great merit of
the newly introduced Lactart and Honey, which has
been found by many to be onderfully effective
in he of coughs and colds. is that it is
LY FREE FROM DRUGS. Hence its use is spreading
rapidly. Lactirt tthe pure acid of milky and Honey
is preparation that always be safely and prof.

CONVICT LABOR.

|. The convict labor problem is a pressing
one in many States. Especially is it SO in
New York, where there has been great neg
lect of the matter by the legislature. The
last legislature authorized the superintendent
of prisons to use the estate account in
keeping the convicts at work, but made no
appropriation. The superintendent then
went to the governor and secured from him
authority to employ part of the idle prison
ers on the piece-price plan, which requires no
capital on the part Of the State. The out
come of the matter is that there is deficit of
over $50, 1000 in Auburn prison caused by the
unemployment of men able to work. The
contracts under which the Sing Sing convicts
have been kept at work will expire soon and
1 ,150 men will be thrown out of employ
msnt. There are now 800 idle men in Au-
burn prison and on March 1 the 200 who are
now employed there on the piece price con-
tracts made through the governors authority
will be added to them.
This is sad condition of affairs to prevail
in the prisons of the great State of New York
and the superintendent of prisons makes a
strong appeal for change. He says some
all interested in social problems. Among
them the following: The reformation of
men in prison can be accomplished only by
industrial activity which is productive. That
is an axiom with prison administrators who
aim at reform. Hence productive labor is
the fundamental ground of reform and of ra-
tional prison management. The better the
training the more secure tee man will be-
come as a man in all his relations to life after
discharge. When it is claimed that prison
labor is competitive with citizen labor the
conclusive reply is that no labor, under any
system, can fail to be competitive without
the sacrifice of the men in the prisons and
the further sacrifice of the interests of the
State and of society. There is no labor in
the world more honest or more useful, in
every sense of the word ':use," than that in
the prisons which is devoted to the training
of the men in prison to become better, strong
err more capable and more enduring men
and worthy and industrious citizens. Char
ity may aid and relieve the feeble and inca
pable. But it is not charity, nor economy.
nor honesty to keep those who are able to
support themselves in a state of corrosive
idleness, and to make other industrious men
pay for such maintenance. It is not juat to
take one mans earnings to support another,
who can work, in idleness. 1t is not just to
refuse to give a man work to do when it is
necessary in order to save him from shame
and degradation and to build him up into the
stature of better man than he is.
This is sound sense. When the taxpayers
of New York have spent enough in support
ing criminals in idIeness and thus still fur
ther demoralizing them, they may be ready
to listen to it.

A queer story is going the rounds Of the
European papers to the effect that at Khar
cof few days ago a Russian merchant NAM
ed Polotkof, as vain as he is rich, received
the visit of three delegates, who said they
had been sent to offer him the crown of
Bulgaria. During the conversation that fol-
lowed, telegram nurporting to come from
the Sobranye of Sophia was brought in; it
confirmed the mission of the delegates.
Po1otkof at first hesitated, but donning his
uniform of municipal councillor, and putting
on his medals and other decorations, he pro-
ceeded to the rector of the university to con-
suit him in the matter. The rector advised
him not to accept the honor, but to go and
see a mad doctor. The merchant felt un-
easy; his suspicion was aroused, he rushed
home, but the delegates had departed, tax
ing with them all the money and jewels they
could find in his drawers, said to amount to
a pretty round sum.
